If the "sploder" (or moneyball) requires a contribution to participate and the winner is selected at random it would be considered a game of chance and not a game of skill as the winner cannot effect the outcome.
Moneyballs that are funded solely by the owner of the object (meaning it doesn't require a contribution) are neither a game of chance nor skill as nothing can prevent the owner of the object from giving away their linden dollars (or property) as they wish.

I make a legal sploder. I've sold hundreds, and I've had exactly three customers have them returned - and every one was exonerated when the appealed. The Winner isn't selected randomly, it's a "last paid in" system - just doesn't give you a running countdown. It also displays the name of the last person to pay in above the sploder. It does require contribution, and can take a "cut" for the house.
Check my profile for a pick to my store.
